Rights of data subjects

 

As the data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the personal data concerning you in accordance with the statutory provisions:

 

 

 

3.1 Right of withdrawal

 

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by a revocation.

 

 

 

3.2 Right to information

 

In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. If such processing is taking place, you have the right to information about your personal data processed by us, the processing purposes, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority,

 

the origin of your data, if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing on you, as well as your right to be informed of the guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries.

 

 

 

3.3 Right to rectification

 

In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data at any time.

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR if one of the following reasons applies:

 

  1. Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

 

  1. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

 

  1. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

 

  1. The personal data was processed unlawfully.

 

  1. The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.

 

  1. The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

 

However, this right does not apply if the processing is necessary:

 

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

 

  1. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;

 

  1. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

 

  1. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

 

  1. for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

If we have made your personal data public and we are obliged to delete it in accordance with the above, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to your personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

 

 

 

3.5 Right to restriction of processing

 

You have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases

 

a) If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.

 

b) If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

 

c) If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

 

d) If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

 

3.6 Right to information

 

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. In accordance with Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about these recipients upon request.

 

​

3.7 Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling

 

In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

 

This does not apply if the decision

 

a) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,

 

b) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

 

c) with your express consent.

 

However, the decisions in the cases referred to in (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

 

In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

 

​

3.8 Right to data portability

 

If the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is carried out by automated means, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller or to request the transfer to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

 

 

3.9 Right of objection

 

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

 

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

 

Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

 

​

3.10 Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

 

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
